Prejean may be popular in some circles, said Marc Malkin in E!, but she’s a pariah in Hollywood. TV and movie stars are lining up to express their disgust. Burlesque star Dita von Teese said “it’s pretty pathetic” that some people don’t think everyone deserves the same rights. And gossip columnist Perez Hilton—the Miss USA judge who asked Prejean her views on gay marriage—mocked Prejean for saying she would pray for him.

Hilton has said far worse than that, said Ed Morrissey in Hot Air, such as calling Prejean a “b***h.” And Prejean says pageant officials warned her not to talk about her religious faith. The first sign of controversy, and pageant organizers want Prejean to "shut up, smile," and "apologize for having an opinion. What a breakthrough for women."
